Another aspect of the game rankles: presumably to ensure that it sells well in Japan and the US, drifting has been included. This kicks off with a tutorial which is not only impossible but unspeakably tedious – although I did discover that you can cheat by engaging reverse gear and slamming on full throttle and lock. It was impossible to detect even a milligram of fun in the drifting element of the game.

From a Grauniad review. Other bits seems to indicate that you can ignore them. I think that they might be part of your career path whatever (and there might be a tutorial you get stuck with) but they don't have to matter.

I have vanilla COH and Opposing Fronts - and I believe that I heard Tales of Valor wasn't that good? I might buy it at that price just to get some new army men to play with and get back into the multiplayer side of things.

Heh. I just broke my 'no buying games you don't plan to play in the next fortnight' rule with PoN, but given that I had 3000 blue coins lying around it seemed fair enough. Mind you, if vinraith finds it hard going I'm not sure how well I'll manage.
